Chapter 46 Arrives to search for traces of monsters.
Xie Hanyi nodded to Mu Fuyun and said nothing more. He only taught her how to open the stone door of the private vault and told her that if she needed anything in the future, she could come and get it herself. Then he went straight back to his cave.
The door that was previously ajar was closed tightly again, and the surrounding restrictions were reactivated, keeping Xie Hanyi firmly protected inside.
Mu Fuyun took a deep breath, held his chest and stood outside the door for a moment, then went back to Xie Hanyi's private storehouse, picked out some materials that could be used for refining weapons, put them in a mustard bag, and then returned to his room.
The next morning, before dawn, she woke up from her meditation, checked her luggage, hesitated for a moment, and then took out the heart-protecting mirror and silver armor from the small bag that Xie Hanyi gave her yesterday, and put them on under her Taoist robe.
All disciples in the sect who come from a healthy family have some such protective magic tools. No matter how precious they are, they are the care and love of their family and friends.
She didn't care about these things before, but now that she has it, she can't let it down.
However, when she put on the silver armor and tied the belt of her Taoist robe, her hand touched a small hard object as big as a spirit stone.
When I opened it, I found a small crystal piece in the pocket of the armor's lining.
The crystal piece was polished into a round shape, and was exceptionally smooth and moist. There was a hole on the edge with a braided rope passed through it. It looked like an ornament that could be hung on the chest.
Mu Fuyun held it in his hand and looked at it again and again, but couldn't see anything special. He tried to condense a wisp of spiritual power at his fingertips and penetrate it into it to test it out.
In the ordinary crystal piece, there was a very faint spiritual consciousness, a slightly cold breath of frost and snow, round and gentle, yet thick and powerful. Without thinking too much, you know it belongs to Xie Hanyi.
With this trace of spiritual consciousness, no matter where she went, as long as he wanted, he would know.
If it were someone else, Mu Fuyun would definitely think this was a disgusting means of surveillance, but this was Xie Hanyi.
Although he didn't mention it yesterday, he put it in the pocket of his silver armor without hiding it at all, and it was obvious that he had no intention of hiding it.
Without thinking, she hung the crystal piece on her chest.
At the foot of Fu Ri Peak, Zhan Yao and the other two had already arrived and were standing by the road waiting. Nearby, several other teams were waiting for their fellow students.
Mu Fuyun saw it from afar and saw that there were many people nearby, so he flew his sword to a fork in the road not far away. He put away his sword and was about to walk there when a small hand grabbed the corner of his clothes.
The little Taoist boy Yunsheng stood under the shade of a tree, tilted his round head and smiled at her, then stuffed a bottle of high-level Guyuan Dan into her hands with his chubby little hands.
"Song Xinghe?" Mu Fuyun did not refuse. He weighed them in his hand. There were about six or seven of them, which was quite generous.
Yunsheng nodded, did not run away, but still looked at her with his round head tilted up.
She couldn't help laughing, and reached out to touch the dimple on the little fleshy face: "Okay, I will bring you something delicious!"
After hearing this, Yunsheng ran away with his hands on his face, feeling satisfied.
Mu Fuyun had just joined up with the others when Chu Ye arrived. The five of them stood together, their first step being to leave Fu Ri Peak and head towards the Western Desert.
"Sorry, I haven't learned how to fly a sword yet." Before anyone else could speak, Yu Cen said guiltily.
Since knowing that Mu Fuyun could fly the sword in the late stage of Qi training, there was a trend among the disciples to learn to fly the sword in advance.
However, the rule of learning to fly a sword in the middle stage of foundation building was not a sudden idea of the predecessors. It was the experience gained through the personal experience of too many people.
Most of the disciples studied with great interest for a few days, then realized their own shortcomings and stopped aiming too high. Instead, they focused on practicing and advancing.
Yu Cen has now established his foundation. He has tried flying the sword twice, and even with all his strength, he could only fly a few feet.
If you go to other places to complete the mission, it may not have much impact, but the Xisha Polar Region is a long way away. It is located at the eastern end of the continent and the western end of the continent, so you have to fly a sword to travel back and forth. Secondly, the Xisha Polar Region is covered by a large desert, with a vast area and sparse population, unlike other places. After arriving, you have to fly a sword.
Xu Lian's situation was similar to his. After hearing him apologize first, she also clasped her fists towards Chu Ye.
"Feel sorry."
In front of most disciples, Chu Ye was always gentle and considerate. Upon hearing this, he waved at the two of them and said gently, "It's okay. The journey is long. I specially applied to the sect yesterday for a teleportation array that can transport us to Beiwu Town. Once we get there, I will take good care of you. Don't worry."
As he spoke, he motioned for several people to gather around and stand, took out talisman paper and spirit stones, and set up a formation on the spot.
…
Thousands of miles away, endless yellow sand covered the entire earth, shining with golden light under the scorching sun.
Beiwu Town is built on this dry and vast land.
As an important town in the Xisha Islands, Beiwu Town is full of houses, most of which are white and low, interspersed with tall dome buildings painted in bright colors. It looks like a magnificent pearl in the sea of sand.
However, for some reason, the streets that used to be bustling with people and cars have become deserted.
People passing by no longer look around and stop as relaxedly as before, but gather in groups of three or five and walk quickly. Occasionally, there are people traveling alone, but they are all wrapped tightly in scarves and walk in a hurry.
"Hey, I found another one last night, thrown by the well. When I found it, all its energy had been sucked out. The whole person looked like a dry bone, dried up by the wind!"
In the room, a young monk in a yellow robe leaned against the window, looking at the pedestrians walking hurriedly on the street with a sad face.
"This is the seventh one, right? Ah Xin, if this continues, won't there be a single soul left on this street soon?"
"Yes, after all, no one wants to be the next person targeted by a monster." The monk named Ah Xin sat behind the desk, writing down the details of today's patrol while looking at the yellow-robed monk. "Li Mu, don't worry too much. The sect sent a message yesterday, and someone has accepted the mission. Once they arrive, we can naturally solve the problem."
Li Mu didn't feel reassured after hearing his words, but instead became even more worried. "But I heard that the one who took the mission was a disciple who just entered the inner sect last year. How could the monster this time be as powerful as the late Jindan stage? Even the formation has been destroyed. Can they handle it?"
Ah Xin thought about it and decided that there was no need to worry too much.
"I heard that among this year's new disciples, there are quite a few who are outstanding, and most of them have already established their foundation. Moreover, the team is led by Senior Brother Chu. Senior Brother Chu is already in the Nascent Soul stage. With him around, there is nothing we can't handle."
"That's true." When Li Mu heard Chu Ye's name, he decided to relax for the time being.
Both of them were once outer sect disciples. In the final assessment, they failed to cross the threshold of the inner sect and could only get a job here in the outer sect. When they came here, Tianyan was the messenger monk in Beiwu Town. They usually solved the evil spirits and monsters within their ability. If they couldn't solve the problem, they would send a message to the sect and ask them to send someone over.
Of course, everyone has heard of Chu Ye's name. With him leading the way, everything should be safe, right?
At the same time, the people they mentioned had arrived in Beiwu Town through the teleportation array.
The other end of the teleportation array has always been at the city gate. After entering the city, the few people did not rush directly to the sect's communication center set up here. Instead, at Chu Ye's suggestion, they first looked at the situation along the way and asked for information from the people passing by nearby.
By the time they arrived at the information center, they had already learned everything that had happened during that period of time.
About a month ago, a monster suddenly appeared in Beiwu Town. Every few days, a corpse would appear, its essence sucked out by the monster.
The owners of these corpses are men and women, old and young, and they appear in different places, including the suburbs and downtown areas. There seems to be no pattern at all. The people in the town are therefore in panic, fearing that they will become the next target of the monster if they are not careful.
"This place was once the stronghold of the demon leader Kun Sheyang, and it's close to the Demon Realm. There's already a lot of residual demonic energy here, so it's common for one or two demons to appear. But this time, Ah Xin and I have been guarding it for so long, but we haven't been able to catch the demon."
Li Mu touched his head and told everyone everything he knew. Ah Xin then brought over a dozen files that he had written down during this period and distributed them to several people for careful reading.
Since they were all taking on a mission for the first time, Chu Ye made full use of his responsibility as the eldest senior brother and gave his junior brothers and sisters the opportunity to gain experience. From beginning to end, he did not say a word. He only waited for them to finish watching and then asked, "Okay, what do you think we should do now?"
Zhan Yao was the first to speak.
"After feeding on human energy, monsters tend to be quiet for a few days. Since something happened last night, the next three days should be safe. I think we should use these three days to search the city for any traces of the monster."
Xu Lian also added: "I remember that Beiwu Town has a warning formation. Once activated, it can capture the approximate location of the monster's activities."
"That..." Hearing this, Li Mu said weakly, "The formation has been ineffective for a while."
"What do you mean by ineffective?" Yu Cen asked in surprise, "Is it because the instructions weren't accurate enough?"
Li Mu scratched his head and did not answer. Instead, he took them to the sand table in the inner room.
The sand table, about ten feet square, shows the entire Beiwu Town. Rows of small chess pieces divide the town into six areas, and in the middle of each area, there is a small crystal stone.
"The formation is set up underground. Over the years, the sect has sent people to inspect it every two years. Two months ago, someone came to inspect it, and there was nothing unusual at that time." Li Mu said as he stuck a piece of talisman paper on a corner of the sand table.
Suddenly, the small crystal stones that were originally lying in the middle of each area seemed to sense something, and almost at the same time turned red and swayed on the sand table.
"Look."
When the crystal turns red, it means that there are monsters in the area, but now, all the crystals are lit and swaying.
Mu Fuyun looked at the movement on the sand table without saying anything.
"It's broken indeed." Xu Lian frowned and said, "It seems that we can only find it ourselves."
"Why don't we split up and divide the six areas into two groups, each responsible for two adjacent areas, and leave one person here to wait for news, how about that?" Yu Cen looked at the manpower and suggested.
Everyone had no objection and quickly divided the group into two groups: Zhan Yao and Xu Lian in one group, Mu Fuyun and Yu Cen in one group, Chu Ye and Li Mu in one group, leaving Ah Xin in the communication center.
